Our company also uses Quickbase to allow vendors to upload invoices and we have set up a notification system to alert the invoice approver that an invoice has been uploaded and requires review and approval. We have set up over 100+ outside vendors to use the tool and our management is able to ensure that approvers are validating, approving and clearing outstanding invoices in a timely fashion. The benefit for the organization is keeping track of our accounts payables and keeps our vendors happy.
